Introduction to the AVISTA Challenge

The AVISTA Challenge has a comprehensive Professional Learning Program for teachers to learn more about engaging their students and deepening their understanding of career pathways in the Defence Industry.

Come to this session to learn more about the AVISTA Challenge, and meet the team behind designing it and who will be available to support you as you implement it in your classroom.

Engage your students in an immersive, real-world STEM challenge designed to spark curiosity and build future-ready skills. 

Working in teams of 3–5, students will tackle a critical problem inspired by challenges the Australian Defence Industry often faces. They’ll learn through an 8-step STEM engineering design process to explore cutting-edge technologies, think creatively, and develop practical solutions as they build key skills in collaboration, problem-solving, systems thinking, and communication. 

This challenge isn’t just about designing in the classroom; it’s about inspiring the next generation of innovators by connecting them to meaningful, future-focused STEM careers. 

This program will be delivered at two different times to suit teachers across Australia:

• Tuesday 24 June 2025, 3.20PM AEST/1.20PM AWST

• Wednesday 25 June 2025, 5.20PM AEST/3.20PM AWST
